Vehicle

2002 Chevrolet Astro LS AWD 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Unless you have a large family and you intend to tow more than the typical mini-van will allow, don't buy one. With just 35,000 mi. I'm already having mechanical problems. We've replaced the ignition, "U" joint and the water pump. There is something else that is making noise under the hood that I haven't tracked down yet and the front end will need work in the very near future. It gets poor fuel economy when compared to other mini-vans and really is not a comfortable vehicle to drive.

Favorite Features

It's a good grocery getter at best. It fits the family but with only a passenger side slider, it is not very user friendly.

Suggested Improvements

Chevy has already done the best thing they could do by discontinuing this model.
